Three weeks after it was damaged by a tornado, Kohl's department store is back in business. The store reopened this morning. As part of its reopening, store managers presented a $10,000 check to the American Red Cross for its help in the recovery effort. Store Manager Jason Chandler tells FRONT ROW, the store is almost like new. It has new floors, new walls, new roof, news doors, and new ceiling tiles.
As a result of the tornado which hit the west end of Beaumont on Aug. 18, Kohl's roof collapsed, trapping some customers inside and part of the roof was torn off.
The tornado also overturned cars and damaged the nearby Walmart. Chandler says employees were compensated the week of the storm and were able to return the following week to help in the recovery. We're glad they're back!
